FINDING BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY
The Dewey Decimal Classification(DDC) is a numbering system used by librarians to find and shelve books. There are 10 major categories of numbers. For example, Geography and History subjects are located in the 900s. These 10 categories are then divided into subsections also by 10s. All non-fiction books are shelved using the DDC.

Our former Public Relations person put that together. I believe she may have used graphics from Microsoft Office when they were still available through the software.
